Install Problems...

[anapologetos]

Yes, I have read the install guide, searched the forums, and racked my brain!

alritey, I have the rpath cacti virtual machine appliance--Here is what I did:
-Created 'plugins' folder under the cacti root folder
-uploaded weathermap.tar and untared it as the folder called 'weathermap' under the plugins folder
-chowned output to my cacti user
-added
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'weathermap';

to cacti's config.php.

I next try to add realm permissons, but the permissions dont show up!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you chown the files you extracted to the user that's running cacti?

[anapologetos]

Yes. The folder + all files under the weathermap folder are owned by the cacti user.

[streaker69]

Did you chmod them as well?

Do you have the reports plugin installed?

[anapologetos]

yes. Also chmodded.

[streaker69]

Do you have the reports plugin installed?

If you do, comment it out and see if it works. I think there's been a reported issue wit the Reports plugin and weathermap.

[anapologetos]

actually, there were no plugins installed--so to answer your question, no I dont--Im about to install another plugin and make sure it isnt just weathermap..... maybe something else is borked.... (?)

If you had to add these lines, I think you skipped the step of installing the Plugin Architecture. The PA patches add that line, and that directory for you.

i had the issue with weathermap not showing up in realms.

it turns out to be that on installation the directory created under plugins is php-weathermap-082. changing it to weathermap fixes the issue, and the icon tab pops up. i guess otherwise cacti doesnt recognise the plugin.

howie can you confirm ?

Yes, that is correct. The name of the directory must match the name you put in the plugins[] list.

(and it's in the installation guide too)
